Bottle ABV: 4.2%
Cask ABV: 4.6%
An award-winning golden bitter from an all malt brew, with Styrian Golding hops added at various stages, to give a classic hop flavour and aroma.
A bitter beer of great character, appealing to those drinkers who really appreciate their beer and are looking for quality.
Launched in 1995 as ‘September Ale’, Jennings Cocker Hoop has become hugely popular, particularly with Lake District tourists in summer
The name is derived from ‘Cock-a Hoop’, an old custom of removing the cock (or spigot) from a barrel and resting it on the hoop of the cask before commencing a drinking bout, but was changed to reflect the brewery’s location on the banks of the River Cocker.

Cask, Sandton Bridge Inn, Lake District. Was pleasantly impressed by this. Served in excellent condition. Amber colour with an off white head. Fragrant hoppy aroma. Clean and very fresh tasting. Citrus and more hop in the flavour with some gentle balancing malt.

Clear pale gold with off-white haed. Subtle malty aroma with hint of spice. Medium body, rather fizzy. Foretaste is malty with fruity (citrus) notes and some metallic hints, with a pleasant but restrained long fairly bitter finsh. Overall, it’s a decent beer but rather light in flavour - easy drinking and refreshing, but not much character.
